How does one get accustomed, to losing my body, so to speak- its like, I'm only in my mid 40's, but at times I feel 60+, in fact, usually. I can't use my arms much, nor my hands- due to the nerves being pinched in my neck. And, because of my lower back- the 4th & 5th vertebraes; I can barely wallk, a lil' bit around the house, with a cane. ...But, usually; its the wheelchair, as well as for going any place- I can't 'walk' for any length of time.
See, I was soo athletic, and this sucks, man...in ways. But, in other ways, I have learned so much more about myself- and, am learning patience, hopefully, & that the world doesn't revolve around me!hee hee ...I have had a couple of generalized injections in my lower back, and in two days, I will have my first in-depth one, in my facet joints, where I have arthritis. I hope this helps, some. I think the last one did, I think that's why I can walk a teeny bit...now...? Anyways, thx for being out there; for the support.
